Alpha is an exciting opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith to your life today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity where you can journey through questions of life, where you will make new friends and where you can ask anything! People come for all different reasons, from different backgrounds, with different opinions, but at Alpha, those differences only add to the conversation and lead to greater understanding!
